If we did get by Baltimore I really dont think we can beat GB. The Texans will be 1 and done in the playoffs. Even if your Jets play them, I dont like there chances. Pittsburg is banged up, and they barley beat us in Pittsburg, the gap is close. New Orleans is good, but they wont beat Green Bay anyway. Same goes for San Fran.

You're severely underestimating how good the Texans are.

I know how good they are. If they do it with a rookie QB Ill have all the respect in the world for them. Baltimore already slammed them in Houston. Whats going to change this time?

With Yates?

If they had Schaub they were my Super Bowl choice but Yates will get exposed, IMO.

Thats exactly what Im trying to say. I mean they would not be my Super Bowl choice, but I would think they were legit. I would still at the very least have them behind Baltimore in the AFC.

Baltimore beat them in Baltimore in Week 6 in a game that Houston was winning during the third quarter. If you think that's an accurate predictor for an easy Baltimore win in January, I don't know what to tell you.

Schaub's importance to that team was overstated. Their strength isn't throwing the ball, it's a great running game and defense. Tate and Foster are the best 1-2 punch in the NFL, and they have a bunch of playmakers on defense finally playing up to potential under Wade. That's why they were able to withstand the Andre Johnson injury. Yates isn't terrible. They're really good.

Serious question. Lets assume Baltimore and New England get the first round week off. Pittsburg in Denver and your Jets at Houston. Are you saying Houston will beat the Jets?

Yes. I'd much rather play the Broncos or even the Pats than the Texans though the former is obviously unlikely.

You know Im a Jets hater, but I think the Jets could go in there and win. That QB vs your D plus an injured Johnson would be the recipe for a Jets W. I cant believe your saying you would rather face NE then the Texans. Lets see the Texans do something in the playoffs with a rookie QB, and banged up superstar WR and a team of guys who have never been here before.

Not having Andre Johnson has not hurt the team nearly as much as people who don't watch their games think it would.

You dont think it will hurt in the playoffs? Since when do teams with rookie QB's and injured superstars make deep playoff runs? Am I making this up?

First of all, he's day-to-day, so it's a pointless conversation. He will most likely be active for the final 2 games.

Losing Schaub is NOTHING like losing a top level QB. I'm not saying TJ Yates is on his level, but the way the Texans are constructed makes them able to withstand an injury to a QB. Like Joey said, they are a run first team with a controlled passing game. They have not been a pass-happy team at all this year, mostly because Schaub simply isn't good enough for that. Having had the same 5 guys on the OL for every single play this year has been huge for the team.

They could easily lose to the Jets in the first round because of inexperience, the fact that the Jets are playoff seasoned, or many other reasons. But, I'd bet against any of those reasons being not having Schaub or Johnson.

Of course to Denver, but maybe to NE. They were the worse looking 7 pt winner I saw yesterday, but still think in the playoffs I'd rather face Yates than Brady, no matter what the other pieces of the equation look like.

Brady has looked awfully ordinary in the playoffs since the Super Bowl loss. And Houston is so much better than them at just about every other position, I'd still rather face New England. Especially considering familiarity and that we've gone into their building and beaten them in January once already.
